Risk register
What could go wrong.
Every investment committee builds this list. We would rather hand it over than have it assembled without us, and we would rather be judged on how we have thought about the downside than on how confidently we describe the upside.
-
Gas supply
Supply agreement not concluded, or volumes below model
- Impact
- High
- Likelihood
- Medium
MitigationMultiple producers approached in the same basin; project sized to the smallest credible volume; contract structured with take-or-pay floor.
-
Hashprice volatility
Digital-asset revenue falls below the level that underwrites the build
- Impact
- High
- Likelihood
- High
MitigationModelled at conservative hashprice with sensitivity published in the model; modular capacity can be redeployed to AI/HPC workloads; capital structure isolates digital-asset exposure from the group.
-
Permitting delay
Regulatory approvals take longer than the twelve months modelled
- Impact
- Medium
- Likelihood
- High
MitigationEngagement started ahead of FID; milestone ladder published so slippage is visible rather than hidden.
-
FX and capital controls
Naira movement affects dollar-denominated capex and returns
- Impact
- High
- Likelihood
- Medium
MitigationRevenue in digital assets and USD-denominated compute contracts provides a natural hedge against local-currency exposure.
-
Currency of demand
Domestic AI compute demand arrives later than expected
- Impact
- Medium
- Likelihood
- Medium
MitigationMining as the baseline workload means capacity is revenue-generating from day one regardless of when AI demand materialises. This is the central reason for the sequencing.
-
Counterparty concentration
Dependence on a single gas producer or a single compute customer
- Impact
- Medium
- Likelihood
- Medium
MitigationPipeline deliberately spans three sites and three workload types.
-
Security and access
Site security in the operating region
- Impact
- High
- Likelihood
- Low to medium
MitigationTo be completed with the security assessment for each site.
The register is updated every time a project changes tier.
